The
anonymous hooded and totally impartial judges were deadlocked by the
appalling low standard of entries and were forced for the first time
to make a joint award to both Nicholas Deller and Jeremy Serota.

The
anonymous hooded and totally impartial judges are pleased to nominate
Jeremy Deller, once winner of the Boring Turner Prize, for his crtiical
incisiveness about the Stuckists on the BBC2 programme What Has the
Turner Prize Ever Done for Us (19.12.16):

"The
first thing about them is they're very bad painters. They go on about
how great painting is and all that stuff, but actually, technically,
not many of them are that good. And I'm sure most conceptual artists
can paint just as well as, or better than, those Stuckists, weirdly.
They're the UKIP of art, aren't they really."

The
anonymous hooded and totally impartial judges are pleased to nominate
Sir Nicholas Serota, once Chairman of the Boring Jeremy Deller Prize,
and soon to be once Director of the Tate gallery, thank God, for his
bare-faced lie :

The
rules of course were invented after we had flouted them.

After
Sue Macgregor asked him on BBC Radio 4 programme The Reunion: Tate Modern
(23.9.16) about the Tates purchase in 2005 of its trustee Chris
Ofilis work, The Upper Room: The Charity Commission
said you didnt quite follow the rules here.
